It was a busy schedule, with a 5:30 start and 11:15 ending. A Trustee’s primary virtue seems to be a tolerance for repetitive, off subject remarks by the public, who if listening, would have heard the answer to their questions about 8 times before they got up … you have to admire them!

I have read the 3 Foot 2×6 “case study”, presented at the 04DEC07 town hall meeting on Local Law 275, and which - in general - represents our situation, too.

The Board listens intently to the testimony being given from
a packed Town Hall, spilling out into the hall.
